I'm not sure what you're saying. I'm just looking for whatever Chinese version I used to have.

This is fantastic. Nice work!

I'm stoked you like it! Yeah, that's a good way of describing it. :)

Yeah I'll probably look for a quad of Chinese versions and if I can't find them, brand new UK ones are $130.

The regular old Chinese reissues sound great to me...

Mmmmmmm solder joints /drool

I've lost track of how many gain stages at this point. Probably 666. @itsgoodnow found this MKII Master Lead local to me, so I picked it up for him and got to work. Every now and then you find a Marshall with these blue boards for some reason. Traces are a bit thicker and slightly more robust...

Someone needs to buy this. These amps are pretty amazing. Hand-wired, punchy, aggressive, rare.

I've been curious about Fanes because of the Hiwatt I own. Their cabs use F75s or Purplebacks, though. Seems like the F25 is basically a Greenback clone? How does it sound?

I already have a cab (Bogner). Just looking for speakers. Currently has the stock V30/G12T-75 combo, but not digging those.

Thoughts on reissue Chinese vs UK?

I bet if you grabbed a handful of any single variation of these speakers and compared them, they'd all sound different.

Great info, thank you! This above description sounds like something I do not want. I want tight lows and growly mid range. This what the Chinese ones I had were like. It's what Framus probably used in their Cobra cab. And it's better for modern high-gain. I'm not after vintage tone or even...

Yeah I really liked the Chinese ones I had. I just don't know what codes to search for to find those. Any idea? I really don't want to pay north of $1,000 for "vintage" speakers.

That isn't the case. New Greenbacks are made in the U.K. since 2018.

Back around 2010, I grabbed a—then new—Bogner 4x12 with Chinese, 16-ohm G12M-25. It sounded fantastic. I got ride of it for some reason years ago. Now I want to grab a quad of Greenbacks for a new cab. But I don't know which version to get. I see they're now made in the U.K. since 2018 or...

I played this amp, boosted with a Fortin Grind, and it kicked so much ass.

Is the Pegasus hotter than a PAF? Sure. Is it a "high output" pickup? I wouldn't call it that. The resistance you measure on a pickup is merely a correlation to its actual output. Having owned two Pegasus pickups, I'd say it's not even as hot as a JB. But what do I know. Seymour Duncan even...

The Pegasus isn't a high-output pickup.

60/40 solidifies over a range of temperatures. That means as it transitions from liquid to solid, it goes through a plastic state where it's kind of pasty and slushy. If you disturb the joint during this transition, you get a bad (cold) joint. 63/37 is eutectic, which means it both melts and...
